The Melbourne Football Club announces the 5 year plan.

Spokesman Neil Nvoid told the three gathered at the presser that the New Board , The New President an the New Coach have formulated the way to success.

Neil then went on ( an on ) to outline how after much research and untold discovery the MFC is now on the road to finals.

When asked the direction the club will take he outlined the course to be taken based upon the new ideals formed around Wide-ranging Instructions Negating Negative Induced Non-responsive Generations

it seems we've been concentration far to much on Long Odds Systems Inducing Nothing Good

Now the offending characteristic of our poor form has been isolated we will now march fervently up the ladder

When taken to task about our past poor performances it was pointed out that past teams and administrations simply sucked big time.

Asked about the F word Neil responded similarly !! As to top 8 finishes, the official line was "well we take it all one week at a time, but don't go booking any holidays in September from here on in"

So there ya go OD...good as done mate !!

    In Honkers en route to Liverpool via London and Manchester.

    Could someone please briefly list all of the trades we've done before we board for Heathrow (about an hour's time)?

    All our trading staff are either on an extended lunch break or been sacked.

    So when happy hour is over we should have a trade or two but I think we also need some steak knives to sweeten our deals.

    Got every British newspaper in the BA lounge and I see they haven't improved a single iota since I was last here.

    Not a single word about trading and free agency.

    Who do they think they are?

    See you soon.

    Have we stumbled on the faceless men behind the dees

    While RL and WJ are taking an extensive wedding break all trading done by MFC ceases

    We can only wait to see the expenses claim for this wedding when the signed forms for the internationalised Demon recruits are lodged and amid a flurry of reporters their feet hit the tarmac at Melbourne

    Keep it under wraps with coded talk of bananas while letting the mainstream press divert itself with imaginings of Buddys contract

    The next headline

    Melbourne surprises with foreign legion tipped to take flag

    Newspapers for Poms? :blink: Reminds me of trying to follow the 1987 finals campaign from the UK. Almost impossible except by telephone calls home ...

    And it's a very good morning from Liverpool, England and I have some sensational news for followers of this thread.

    We now have our own poet laureate in the form of one of the great female voices in contemporary Japanese literature, Tokyo's own (and now our own as well) Banana Yoshimoto . The author of a dozen novels including Kitchen and her latest, The Lake was featured in the British Airways in flight magazine which I read on the way from London Heathrow to Manchester last night.

    The sun's about to rise in Liverpool, the place we're staying at is right on the Mersey River overlooking the port. Can't think of a better spot to discuss Japanese literature and the fascinating developments of Melbourne's trade week over breakfast with Redleg.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
